He noted that this is not the first time that the United States has not fulfilled its obligations as a state on whose territory the UN headquarters is located.
"The non-issuance of visas to Russian journalists is a direct violation of international law. The United States lives by the principle "We are on our own, and international law is for everyone else." Therefore, of course, it is impossible to achieve the truth from American politicians, "Mezuho said.
In his opinion, it is necessary to draw international attention to this situation.
"It is necessary to ring all the bells. It is necessary to say that today the United States restricts the rights of Russian journalists, tomorrow - Chinese, and the day after tomorrow British, etc. Those states that support such a policy of the United States themselves may soon become its victims or targets, "the political scientist added.
The interlocutor of RT believes that such an inadequate position of the United States makes one think that the UN headquarters should be located in a truly neutral country.
Earlier, the Russian Permanent Mission to the UN said that the United States had neglected international law by not issuing visas to journalists who were supposed to accompany Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to New York.
